This is crazy. The first time we’ve heard a peep out of Starfy since The Legendary Starfy outside of Smash. And this is the first time these three games were ever released outside of Japan! It makes me wonder if Starfy’s about to make a comeback, but that’s probably just wishful thinking.

Wish they were translated, though. These games have stories, and while you don’t need that to enjoy the level design, a part of the experience is gonna be lost on anyone who can’t read Japanese.

Do you think the Wii U would be powerful enough for native 3DS emulation? It’s a lot to ask of the console but it would be pretty awesome.

Edit: Sorry for the late reply. I don’t check Lemmy that consistently.

Hang on, 3DS too? Is that emulation, a compatibility layer, just streaming from a 3DS, or what?

This looks about comparable to the remaster from earlier, which looked incredible for a Switch game. The trailer looked nice but definitely not what we would expect from something on the level of a PS4. I don’t see a reason to doubt that the footage was the game running on Switch.

But the fact that people are debating if this is Switch 2 footage speaks volumes about Retro Studio’s skill. Jaw-dropping graphics for a Switch game.

So weird to see a PlayStation IP on Switch. I wonder if LEGO pushed for that since LEGO games have a big audience on Switch (as far as I can tell based on very limited research and big assumptions.) But I really have to wonder-- If the goal is broadening the audience, why on earth is this game on Switch but not PS4? I’m not mad or anything, but that’s extremely weird. Maybe it’s an attempt to sell more PS5s?
